CHOA!
Today, I participated in an observation of music therapy at this facility. It was interesting and incredibly emotional. I'm not going to sit here and fill you in on cool music therapy activities. I really just need to unload emotionally about what took place today.
My co-intern and I observed the Rehab unit and the Cancer unit. While at the cancer unit, all three of the patients we were going to observe were expected to pass away very soon. At that point, I was incredibly emotional. My co-intern and I were given the opportunity in watching the Make A Wish foundation present one of the patients with an electric guitar signed by Angus from ACDC. The gift came with bags of other goodies and an amp. At this point, I lost it. This patients mom was crying and I couldn't take it. This is why I do not want to work in the children's hospital. I know that it comes with the job. However, I'm not sure I'm ready to work in that area. I would be crying and upset the entire time.
